Writer rebuts Island philosopher’s take on windmills

In response to the letter written by Phil Dabous ‘Wind farms opposition framed by Island philosopher,’ July 25, page 4. I know Phil personally. He has seen me drink more than one beer. He dropped out of our society 10 years ago and now spends nine months of the year in Vietnam.

Mr. Dabous doesn’t have to worry about the high cost of electricity on Manitoulin Island because he lives in Vietnam. He doesn’t worry about Hydro One wasting taxes because he lives in Vietnam. He doesn’t have to worry about the industrialization of Manitoulin Island because he lives in Vietnam. He doesn’t pay taxes in Canada because he lives in Vietnam.

This argument about the windmills has become so ridiculous that a wandering white man living in Vietnam is telling Native Americans what to do with their land on Manitoulin Island.

What’s your point Doc.? So he should not be entitled to an opinion, just because of where he lives? Come on, what school of narrow minded stupidity did you go to? Who cares if he saw you drinking beer. Are you implying that is an oddity among Natives?
Who cares if he does not pay taxes, Let me ask this….. Do you?
